Last seen in Thugs of Hindostan, Aamir is currently working on his next big project. The epic action fantasy of 2018 co-starring Amitabh Bachan, Fatima Sana Shaikh and Katrina Kaif didn't fare well at the box office. It was one of the most anticipated film of last year but failed to impress critics or audience. Aamir earlier this year acquired the rights to Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump and will be starring in the film's remake.

The remake has been titled as Laal Singh Chaddha. Aamir will be playing the titular roles co-starring Kareena Kapoor Khan.
